strong
communities
Indiana should have communities that are safe, affordable, and built to support families at every stage of life.
Current Challenges:
From 2014 - 2024, Carroll County’s population has grown 2.3%, and Tippecanoe County has grown 6.1% — increasing pressure on housing and services.
Many households are cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than 30% of their income on housing.
65% of seniors in Carroll County and 59% of seniors in Tippecanoe County are cost-burdened.
Growth is positive — but only if families, seniors, and working residents can afford to stay.
Solutions:
Increase funding for services that support the unhoused (homeless) population.
Strengthen tenant protections and enforce health and safety standards.
Expand the supply of affordable housing.
Address corporate bulk purchasing of single-family homes that reduces local ownership opportunities.
Invest in rural communities to ensure long-term sustainability and access to services.
